Saint lager are putting together "a unique series of monthly live events celebrating contemporary British quality and craft"
The first in the series begins with Oliver Spencer, filmed at his Soho store with him discussing craft, production and manufacturing in Britain.
Watch this space for more of the project.
I posted the trailer a few weeks back. Here's the video in its entirety.
Directed by Antony Crook And written by James Bowthorpe for Rapha.
I provided moral support and made them coffee (badly).
Rig Out Alumni, Antony Crook and James Bowthorpe have a new project on the go, again collaborating with Mogwai -
HUDSON RIVER PROJECT LAUNCHES ON KICKSTARTER TUESDAY APRIL 10th
This September filming will begin on a new collaboration from Antony Crook and James Bowthorpe, Hudson River Project. It will feature an original soundtrack from Mogwai.
Bowthorpe:
“The central idea is very simple: Build a boat from a city’s waste, take it to the source of the city’s river – the river without which the city would not exist – and row the boat back.”
The film follows a man as he makes a boat from New York City’s waste, the detritus of a modern megalopolis, and takes it to the source of the HudsonRiver high in the Adirondack Mountains, at Lake Tear of the Clouds.
He rows the boat back to NYC, through wilderness, countryside, farms, towns and industry, all of which rely on the mighty river that flows past, all of which are threads of the river’s story.
The filmmakers have gathered an impressive list of collaborators: Scottish band Mogwai are writing an original soundtrack for the film, their first since Zidane; A 21st Century Portrait, and award-winning interactive director Ben Tricklebank (Arcade Fire’s The Wilderness Downtown) will be creating an online experience to complement the films's release.
Crook and Bowthorpe are making the film with support from crowd-funding website Kickstarter, where funding for the film is found from a large group of people investing a small amount each in return for exclusive rewards from the film. The campaign starts Tuesday 10th April and runs for 45 days.

Last friday saw me and Antony Crook fly to Bologna to visit WP Lavori for a meeting regarding a project we are in the process of collaborating on. Being big fans of WP and the work they do with Woolrich, Woolrich Woolen Mills, Barbour and Beams (and the rest..) we are extremely excited to be working with them.
And as ever, with any Italian visit you know you are in for some top scran.... this time dessert was ice cream and balsamic vinegar.. don't knock it till you've tried it!
